Hi,

I've just looked at the code and can't see a reason why this would happen.

Have you modified the original mod?

hi!
no original mode was modified .. have a look at
http://www.vstopnice.com/vici/Politicni/ and click on link near Št.:17 (Pošlji Vic naprej)

then follows information
your name:
friends name
your mail
his mail.

then check your mail .. you'll see what i'm talking about ...

thanx

Hmm....the only thing I can think of is to try escaping the quotations as it is showing fine in the hidden fields.

In tella2add.cgi under:

Code:
my (%rec) = &get_record ($in{'ID'});
...try adding...

Code:
$rec{'Description'} =~ s/"/\\"/g;
...
Code:
$rec{'Description'} = quotemeta($rec{'Description'});
...may also work.

There's absolutely no reason for it happening from what I can see.

&get_record is being called properly and the data is stored in %rec. There should be no reason for it not to work.

I'm stuck - although I haven't used tell ya friend so I may have missed something.

Hi,

If you can make the mod code web accessible I'll take a look for you and try to help you with the answer.

I'm afraid mine is very simple, and only works with the URL and title. Sorry Frown I jsut havn't got around to re-writing most of my mods now (they are about 1 year old)
